Question: My passport was issued less than 1 year ago and I want to change name. After I complete the form, where can I submit it along with the necessary documents?
I am from Seattle, Washington. Please suggest the nearest place where I can submit the name change application to complete my process. Thank you. Waiting for your reply.
Answer: There are a few different places you can submit your name change application depending on how quickly you need to get your passport back.
There are two addresses provided on Form DS-5504: Application for a U.S. Passport Name Change, Data Correction, and Limited Passport Book Replacement. One address is for routine service. This takes 4-6 weeks to complete. The other address is for expedited service. This takes 2-3 weeks to complete.
Note: If you request expedited service, be sure to include a payment of $60 and write the word "Expedite" on the outside of the envelope. It is also recommended that you use a two-way overnight delivery method that can deliver to a P.O. Box.
If you need to get your name changed in the passport in less than two weeks, you can visit the regional passport agency. For complete details, click the link below.
